Answer:

Actual rational zeros of f(x) are x=-5, x=-3, and x=1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function is f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15.

constant term = p = -15

coefficient of leading term q= 1

then possible rational roots of given function f(x) are the divisors of \pm \frac{p}{q}=\pm 1, \quad \pm 3, \quad \pm 5, \quad \pm 15

Now we can plug those possible roots into given function to see which one of them gives output 0.

test for x=1

f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15

f(1)=1^3+7(1)^2+7(1)-15

f(1)=1+7+7-15

f(1)=0

Hence x=1 is the actual rational zero.

Similarly testing other roots, we get final answer as:

Actual rational zeros of f(x) are x=-5, x=-3, and x=1.

Answer:

1,-3,-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

f(x)=x^3+7x^2+7x-15

Finding all the possible rational zeros of f(x)

p= ±1,±3,±5,±15 (factors of coefficient of last term)

q=±1(factors of coefficient of leading term)

p/q=±1,±3,±5,±15

Now finding the rational zeros using rational root theorem

f(p/q)

f(1)=1+7+7-15

   =0

f(-1)= -1 +7-7-15

     = -16

f(3)=27+7(9)+21-15

    =96

f(-3)= (-3)^3+7(-3)^2+7(-3)-15

     = 0

f(5)=5^3+7(5)^2+7(5)-15

    =320

f(-5)=(-5)^3+7(-5)^2+7(-5)-15

      =0    

f(15)=(15)^3+7(15)^2+7(15)-15

     =5040

f(-15)=(-15)^3+7(-15)^2+7(-15)-15

      =-1920

Hence the rational roots are 1,-3,-5 !

On Friday, 27 soccer fans are going to a soccer game. A ticket to the game costs $18 per person. Lunch for all 27 fans costs $17
kirza4 [7]

Answer: x=18(27)+172

Step-by-step explanation:

You have the following information given in the problem:

- The number of soccer fans that are going to a soccer game is 27.

- A ticket to the game costs $18 per person.

- The cost of the lunch for all 27 fans is $172.

- x represents the total cost of attending the game for all 27 fans.

Therefore, keeping the above on mind you can write the following expression that closely estimates the total cost of attending the game for all 27 fans:

x=18(27)+172

A suitcase measures 24 inches long and the diagonal is 30 inches long. How much material is needed to cover one side of the suit
azamat

Answer:

I believe you're supposed to solve for the other missing side. If you know a side (a) and the diagonal or also known as the hypotenuse (c), you will be able to solve for the other side using the Pythagorean theorem.

Step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2 Substitute the values for a and c

24^2+b^2=30^2 Solve for the powers

576+b^2=900 Subtract 576 from both sides

b^2=324 Solve for the root of 324

18=b

You would need 18 inches of material to cover one side of the suitcase.

If f(x) = 5x, what is f–1(x)?
Verdich [7]
We are given f(x) = 5x
and we are to find inverse of f(x).

Step 1:
Replace f(x) by y.
So,

y = 5x

Step 2:
Isolate x
So,

x = y/5

Step 3:
Replace x by f'(y)
So,

f'(y) = y/5

Step 4:
Replace all occurrences of y by x.
So,

f'(x) = x/5

Therefore, the inverse of f(x) = 5x is f'(x) = x/5
